THE EMMAUS WALK PRESENTS:

"The Oklahoma State Proclamation of Morality,"

Sponsored by Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern
her colleagues in the State Legislature

A modern version of Joan of Arc has to be
Sally Kern, Representative in the Oklahoma Legislature. She has just now
led in issuing Oklahoma's centennial proclamation that should spin more than a few talking heads
in Washington and give burning cheeks and
ears to many of those radical secularists and socialists in the White House and Congress. At last
patriotism, traditional morality, Biblical foundations, love of family, love of Jesus Christ, have a spokeswoman
who stands courageously and without compromise on the things that made America great. It is
a "Proclamation Calling for National Repentance and Spiritual Renewal," and
we found it in the
November-December issue of Lamplighter Magazine. I want to give you the entire
proclamation, so please return for it when it comes on-line. You will be
astounded by what you find it proclaiming. I could not believe what I was reading, it was so truthful and uncompromising and so completely in the spirit of the best of what it means to be America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. It makes you want to stand with her, and thank God for her, and other such leaders we still may have in state governments. If there is one, could there be another like her somewhere? God has his people everywhere, even in the darkest times, such as these are. She gives me hope, though the nation seems to be bent on self-destruction right now. God cannot help take notice of this proclamation, for it comes from truly sincere, humble hearts crying out to him in repentance and great need for a nation and a people who have gone badly astray.

Oklahoma celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2007. The state can be justifiably proud of legislators like Sally Kern--Lamplighter.

The Proclamation

We the People of Oklahoma, invoking the guidance of Almighty God, in order to secure and perpetuate the blessing of liberty; to secure just and rightful Government; to promote our mutual welfare and happiness, do establish this proclamation and call upon the people of the great State of Oklahoma, and our fellow patriots in these United States of America who look to the Lord for guidance, to acknowledge the need for a national awakening of righteousness in our land.

WHEREAS,

"Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men,but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God" (Benjamin Franklin) [the so-called Deist!]; and

WHEREAS,

"God who gave us life gave us liberty, and can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis--a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the Gift of God?" (Thomas Jefferson) [also called not a Christian
and Deist!]; and

NOW THER BEFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we, the undersigned elected officials of the people of Oklahoma and of these United States, rests upon the principles of religion and morality as put forth in the Holy Bible; and

BE IT RESOLVED that we, the undersigned, believers in the One True God and His only Son, call upon all to join with us in recognizing that "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord," and humbly implore all who love truth and virtue to live above reproach in the sight of God and man with a firm reliance on the leadership and protection of Almighty God; and

BE IT RESOLVED that we, the undersigned, humbly call upon our Holy God--our Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer--to have mercy on our nation, to stay His hand of judgment, and grant a national awakening of righteousness and Christian renewal as we repent on our great sin.

Note on the Proclamation of Oklahoma calling for
National Repentance and Spiritual Renewal:

Let it be acknowledged that both Republican and Democrat leaderships
have sinned grievously against the commandments of God and his Holy Word the Bible.
Presidents of both parties have misled the nation into immorality and
perversity and rebellion against God. Our whole land is overflowing with every
kind of wickedness, consequently. And pride and arrogance rule from top to bottom
of our society and goverment. We dare to stick our dirty, sin-stained finger in God's face and lecture him! We dare to tell
him we can govern a nation without Him! We dare to abandon Him and publicly
denounce him and cast him off, while the young people watch us. We dare to
make ourselves abject fools in the sight of the watching world, and the
eyes of those in heaven who were our nation's godly, Christian forefathers. We dare
to do all this, while claiming that all the blessings we enjoy come from our own
work and brainpower. Surely, we are making ourselves ripe for an overthrow into
the pit of hell itself! God save us from ourselves and our follies of sin, pride, and stubborn rebellion.
